9.5 Ecclesiology: The Attributes of the Church | David Parker | 2026-02-04

In this compelling teaching on the attributes of the church, we explore the four historic characteristics confessed in the Nicene Creed: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. These attributes aren't arbitrary labels but reflect the very nature of Christ himself, received through the church's union with her Savior. The church is ONE - a singular organism united under Christ as head, animated by one Spirit, sharing one faith, one love, and one hope. She is HOLY - set apart by God, sanctified through Christ's work, and called to pursue holiness in all her members. She is CATHOLIC (universal) - spanning all times, places, and peoples, transcending denominational boundaries to include all true believers. And she is APOSTOLIC - built on the foundation of the prophets and apostles with Christ as the cornerstone, called to guard the faith once delivered to the saints and faithfully pass it on to future generations. Understanding these eternal attributes helps us see the church in her true glory and challenges us to live faithfully as members of Christ's body, contending for the truth, pursuing holiness, and participating in the disciple-making ministry that defines the apostolic church.
